is it possible to get a "dump" of meta information since a given date using a simple url fetch?
to elaborate, I would like to do 'curl URL' where URL is what I am
asking help in constructing, that would dump the descriptions for all
commits to the subversion depot (a sub-tree would be even better!)
that have happened since a given date, or a given commit number. The
dump can and should be a simple text/plain file, I suppose.
Is this possible?
Thanks - Yossie

No.
"svn log" turns into several WebDAV requests, plus some XML parsing.

No, it's not possible.
What you want is the value of the 'svn:log' property attached to each
revision. To get those, you'd need to issue an http PROPFIND request
(rather than a GET request) on specific opaque URLs produced by the
mod_dav_svn server, which themselves are derivable through PROPFIND
requests.
You have to speak WebDAV/DeltaV, which means doing much more than
just http GET. Not a simple task.
